SARS-CoV is one of the viruses contain N-linked glycoproteins which are glycosylated by the transfer of core oligosaccharides from a dolichol pyrophosphate carrier to asparagine residues on the polypeptide [2] . Furthermore, HE protein of MHV was found to be modified by N-linked glycosylation and was inhibited by tunicamycin but not monensin. The inhibition Nlinked glycosylation of SARS-CoV 8ab protein by tunicamycin is not completely understood [33, 34] . HE and 8ab proteins of SARS-CoV glycosylation are inhibited by tunicamycin. Since tunicamycin has long been used as an anti-cancer and can inhibit glycoproteins of coronaviruses, we recommend using this drug to treat the SARS-CoV-2. ./cache/cord-258152-3udtsvga.txt ./txt/cord-258152-3udtsvga.txt
